The COVID-19 pandemic has a serious impact on people’s lives, including teachers. The need to continue the learning process during a pandemic has caused teachers and students to encounter many problems, including limited internet access in remote areas. Landang Elementary School (SDN 19 Landang) in Bantaeng Regency is one of the elementary schools in South Sulawesi located in the remote area facing the aforementioned problem. The teachers are forced to teach the students by home visit to provide learning activities. The condition in which people must keep their distance from each other to avoid the spread of COVID-19 virus yields stress. The study aims to analyze the factors that cause stress among elementary school teachers. This cross-sectional survey method involved 47 respondents using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) on Google Form platform as the instruments. Age and teaching duration had significant association with the stress level among teachers after analysis using chi square test.
